Snow Bow
« on: Feb 19, 2022, 04:48 PM »
I have had the worst season with the rainbows. All my hot spots have let me down. No missing eggs every weekend. Was getting very discouraged. My buddy talked with fish and game and they told him they hadn't stocked them every where because there was a disease at the hatchery. So I was thinking maybe that's why. Then today after a few smallies I finally had 4 holes with no eggs. Set 2 jaw jackers and 5 minutes later this big fat 20.5“     4 lb 9 oz female came up the hole. Went elbow deep to make sure she didn't come off.  Made the day for sure

Nice job.  Great story. I have also discussed this with fish and game. The rainbow stockings were less than usual.  Nice job

Nice one. Haven’t had much bow luck this year myself either.

Thanks for all the replies everyone. Glad this site finally made posting pictures easier and I can share with you. This fish fought so good. I was trying to keep it in the water so my dad could come over and get a good picture. Thankfully it all worked out
